Portfolio Strategy

BMO Covered Call Canadian Banks ETF has been designed to provide exposure to a portfolio of Canadian banks while earning call option premiums. The Fund invests in securities of Canadian banks, and dynamically writes covered call options. The call options are written out of the money and selected based on analyzing the option's implied volatility. The option premium provides limited downside protection. The underlying portfolio is rebalanced and reconstituted semi-annually in June and December, and options are rolled forward upon expiry. In addition, as ZWB is a fund of fund, the management fees charged are reduced by those accrued in the underlying funds.

Fund Benefits

  • Designed for investors looking for higher income from equity portfolios
  • Invested in a diversified portfolio of Canadian banks
  • Call option writing reduces volatility
  • Professionally managed by BMO Global Asset Management

Tax & Distributions

Distribution History

Each BMO ETF will distribute net taxable income to investors at least once a year. A BMO ETF will have taxable income if the income generated (for example interest, dividend, capital gains, etc.) by the securities within the BMO ETF is greater than the expenses of the BMO ETF. The distributions will either be paid in cash or reinvested in the BMO ETF at the discretion of the manager. The future distribution dates for BMO ETFs may change at any time and whether or not a distribution occurs will depend on the tax characteristics of the underlying investments.

The following table lists historical distributions and includes information about the frequency dollar value and tax composition of the distribution. The tax composition of the BMO ETF distribution will be determined on a yearly basis and will only be available after the BMO ETFs tax year. This information will be reported in an official tax receipt provided to investors by their broker.

The exact tax treatment of the distributions for a calendar year is calculated after the BMO ETF's tax year-end. As a result investors will receive an official tax statement from their broker detailing the type of income they have to report for tax purposes for the entire year and not for each distribution.
